Light Mocha Recipes

MOCHA FUDGE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Coat a 9 inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl,combine hot water and 2 teaspoons coffee granules. Stir well, then add 2 cups of the brownie mix, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and the two egg whites. Stir until blended. There may be a few small lumps.
• Transfer batter to the pie dish and bake at 325 for 22 minutes. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Clean out the bowl you used for the brownie mix (or grab a new one) and add milk, 2 tablespoons Kahlúa, 1 teaspoon coffee granules (or half a packet), 1 teaspoon vanilla, and pudding mix.
• Beat by hand with a scraper for about 100 strokes or use an electric mixer for 30 seconds -- just enough to blend and work out any lumps. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups whipped topping. Spoon pudding mixture over the brownie crust and spread evenly.
• Combine 1 tablespoon Kahlúa and 1 teaspoon coffee granules (1/2 packet) in a bowl; stir well. Gently fold in remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping. Spread whipped topping mixture evenly over pudding mixture. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Serve immediately or store loosely covered in refrigerator.
• Note: Nonalcoholic Mocha Version: When making the pudding mixture, substitute 2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk for the Kahlúa. In the topping omit the Kahlua and dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon water.

LIGHT CAFE MOCHA

Steps:

• Heat 1 cup of milk on stovetop. You can eliminate the skin that forms on the bottom of the pot or pan by wetting it before heating. You can prevent the skin that forms at the surface by either foaming the milk (whip it) before heating or covering the pot or both.
• Recommend pre-heating the cup by putting water in it and microwaving it for 2 minutes.
• When milk is hot (I use a digital probe thermometer and wait for it to get to about 170), discard water from cup and add dry ingredients to bottom of cup.
• Add milk slowly, stirring.
• Enjoy!
